HCPA Spring Mixed Doubles Results
Thirty-six players, 8 volunteers, 6 referees, and a single tournament director came together for the HCPA spring mixed doubles tournament on March 27 at Glenwood Community Center. Eighteen teams competed in two phases. In the first half, 3 pools of 6 teams competed in round robin play. The winner of each pool along with a “best of the rest” wildcard then clashed paddles in a 4-team playoff.
When all the blood was spilled (and then mopped up to clear the courts for a group of extremely large and rambunctious teenagers waiting to play basketball), those warriors remaining atop the sanguinary mountain comprised:
1: Jim Fessler and Khai Wongsabute
2: Thomas Salley and Sandy Whaler
3: Troy Osten and Betty Lee
4: Sharon Tennyson and Doug Smith
